Woodworkers for the creative industries

Using working drawings from the Belfast's photo archives and after studying the existing woodwork on the ship, we recreated lost pieces of furniture for the Admiral’s Bridge. We remade the cabinets in Brazilian mahogany, finished with traditional materials all sourced and researched by us. Finally, we refitted them to the interior of the ship.

This project, a pop-up shop within John Lewis for the fashion label Bensimon, was produced to recreate the feel of an artist’s studio. We made all the elements including the plinths and screens formed of primed canvases, and installed the set in the store.

The large canvas along the back wall was made by us and painted by Russell Oxley.

“The video screens have been mounted on the backs of folding screens, in an arrangement that highlights the interrelationship of the surface for film projection and the collaged surfaces.”

We were directed to produce several concertina-ed structures formed from birch and timber panels as well as simple birch plywood benches and projection screens. These supporting elements formed the visual structure for TJ’s elegant collages and projections.

‘The Looking Glass’ exhibition featured custom-built responsive tables designed to show the work of 600 students in a playful and engaging environment.

Working with Moving Brands, we built and installed all the gallery furniture including the construction of the cases for the ‘gestural tables’.

For the RIBA award-winning Town Hall Hotel, Debbie Lawson created an artwork drawing on the original building's Art Deco features.

We constructed and installed a panelled room using oak veneers and solid oak mouldings specially milled for the project. The panels were cut and handed over for inlaying by Debbie, then installed.

The room was designed with regard to the historic interior and recent additions which transformed Bethnal Green Old Town Hall into the East End's first luxury hotel.

We did a lot of work for the artist Angus Fairhurst but our favourite project that we did for him was this library. It was created to a design worked out with the artist, making the most of a compact domestic space.

Made in birch ply, it incorporates discrete drawers for files and works on paper.

We have made several pieces for Daniel, all of which required a high degree of skill and accuracy. The works shown in production here were recently exhibited in London.

Some of the pieces are made using a petrified wood called bog oak, which is extremely hard, and thus very demanding to work with.

We were commissioned by the artist to make this faithful half-scale chair, which was finished in white gesso to be incorporated into a sculpture for the series ‘Yoko’.

This set was produced for the premium garden furniture brand Indian Ocean, for their concession within Selfridges, London. We made all the painted wooden components including the greenhouse structure, trees and plinths.

“Taking the iconic forms of antiquity - pillar, arch, idealized human form - and focussing on the overwhelming spectacle that defines the ‘Fascist style’, Horowitz questions its proximity to more generic trends in popular culture. Horowitz's democratic use of readily available materials is in keeping with the everyman political spirit that lies behind the work”.

This large arch structure envisaged by the artist was engineered by us using a system of voided-out ply plates which then formed a substructure laminated with panels imported from the United States to create an entirely plastic-faced structure. The arch was made in two sections, and we joined it on site in the gallery.
